This was amazing. The usual adjectives just don't apply. It was beautifully written, yes. It was engrossing, yes. I recommend it completely, yes. It changed the whole world for me - politics, the news, everything.

TW: rape, sexual harassment, sexual assault
I listened to the audiobook.
Every once in a while I feel bad for generalizing about men, and then I read something like this. When you don't stand up for what's right you are 100% a part of the problem. Also, who the hell cares who Matt Lauer and Harvey Weinstein are? They aren't irreplaceable and they are just people like anyone else. I don't get this deference to money and power.

Great book. Inspiring work. Hard to read because it’s hard to know. We need to do better.
Inspiring. Great work. A troublesome topic that is so prevalent yet hard to grasp. We need to do better as a society. People need to be exposed. This cannot continue. It’s everywhere. And it’s disgusting.

Ronan Farrow is usually an author that I reach for and unfortunately the way that this book was written was just too long and repetitive. It was like watching a TLC show that replays the same scene both before and after the commercial...

This is, of course, a great read. The end got a little tedious, as it explained the various ripple effects / fallout of Ronan’s initial report (which is a lot to take in). But the lead-up to the “main event” (the initial New Yorker piece) and the rundown of the article we all saw in print was impeccably well-written. I personally enjoyed Ronan’s references to his personal life as well.
